A few photos of my garden (pinks)

I only have a few roses that are not pink I'm realizing! I can't get enough pinks. These few looked nice when I arrived home today from a week at the beach. Most of my roses are still so young that it's rare for the bush as a whole to look nice.

I LOVE this rose. It has bloomed non stop for me since early summer with the most delicate blooms. Good fragrance also.

And a tiny little Stanwell Perpetual
I keep de-budding this one and it seems to make new buds overnight. It's determined to bloom!

Gorgeous roses, Melody! Cool pinks are my favorite color in roses, closely followed by mauves and purples. St. Cecilia is gorgeous, I had no idea how pretty that rose is. Your Mr. Fairchild is equally beautiful. Mine is short and skinny and I wonder if it likes your climate better, although I'm inspired to try to make mine look a little more like yours.

I'm so glad to see a garden other than my own here. If these are all young roses then I'm really impressed.

Wow! So, so pretty! You've given me something to think about as I plan my own pink rose bed.

Thank you all. These roses are in their second year. They love my front yard. They get the hottest sun there. The air flow is excellent also so I don't have many disease issues. The back yard is a different story! I have a few more photos to share.

Very pretty, Melody. Claire Rose is absolutely stuffed with petals, very pretty. I also have Marie Pavie, and it's a good rose, but for me the flowers are very fleeting. However, there are usually more to take their place in a short time, and it's a graceful plant. I would love to be able to grow Abraham Darby, so beautiful and yet so unhappy in my garden.
